Abstract:
Our vision
A future where marine ecosystems thrive from life and are sustainably exploit for the common good.

Our mission
Our mission is to ensure the protection and sustainable use of marine and terrestrial resources through scientific research, advocacy, education and consultation in order to promote conservation through progress in political, cultural and social change.

Our story
Enalia Physis Environmental Research Centre is a Cyprus-based non-profit organization established in 2009. Since then, our team is slowly growing but our conservation actions, outreach, scientific contribution and influence is growing exponentially. This is the effort of collaborative work and by always believing in our vision and mission. Our team is composed by experts in biological and environmental research and management, covering a wide range of fields such as conservation of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, marine and freshwater biology, fisheries, ecology, environmental education and geography as well as socio-economics. We aspire to become a strong environmental platform for research and to be able to influence decisions about the environment in a positive and constructive manner, utilizing our connection with an international network of collaborators.

Our purpose is to conduct and promote environmental research in marine and terrestrial ecosystems and to encourage and enhance education and ecological awareness of the general public. Cyprus, as the eastern Mediterranean in general, is in particular need of active NGOs who aim to become part of the decision making the process of environmental policies in order to promote good environmental practices.

The need for an environmental NGO with an understanding of the nature of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the interactions between them, is particularly important for an island such as Cyprus where Enalia Physis is based. The threats of further climate change, habitat destruction and desertification, water shortages, overfishing and the sea-level rise combined with the growing importance of deep-sea hydrocarbon exploration and extraction, make the eastern Mediterranean a hotspot for research. Enalia Physis and its collaborators cover a wide spectrum of environmental issues while at the same time having a high standard of expertise in all the areas it deals with.

The increase of the public’s awareness as well as environmental education is in our priorities. Awareness campaigns are being planned as are collaborations with other NGOs so as to increase the importance and the impact of research on the policy making process from independent researchers who do not follow agendas or governmental policies which many times limit the well-intended impact of research.
